(Closed) Where were you 2 years in to your relationship?

Tomorrow is the 2-year anniversary of our first date, and it got me thinking about milestones. In the past 2 years, we’ve fallen in love, met each others’ families, lost jobs, gained jobs, one of us moved cross-country, we got engaged, and now we are a couple months away from moving in together. It’s just crazy that our lives have changed so much in two years!

WE had already started talking about marriage, knowing it was a far way off. Met eachothers families, traveled across the country together to do it! And were living an hour a part at different school… and sleeping over in tiny dorm beds every chance we could get.

On our actual 2 year anniversary, FI turned 21. 🙂 We had just moved in together a few months prior. We were in the middle of college. We didn’t have our puppies yet and we were pretty far from being engaged, but we were happy. 🙂

We JUST moved into our own apartment at the start of our 2 yr anni (after living with room mates for a year), bought a pet together, went to Miami, then Italy, and partied it up…. (I was only 21 when we hit our 2 year mark!)

Today is actually 2 years and 3 months for us, at 2 years we were completing our marriage prep course, engaged and had most of our wedding planned. Our complete immediate familes (minus brothers) had just met over a weekend, even though we had each spent time with each. We had gone through the major hurdles in the first year (revealing emotional scars, dealing with related issues, being 1500 miles apart for the summer, etc).

After 2 years we had already lived together for a year and a half and were on our second apartment. Our families had all met (that happened within the first month or so) and we were starting to combine finances. I had just gotten my job at the company FI worked for (we still both work for the same company) and life was really good.

Our 2 year anniversary feels like such a long time ago. We’ll be celebrating 6 years in May!

We’re just over two years into our relationship; in that time, I finished undergrad, he received his grad degree, he moved, I got a full-time job, and all the marriage stuff of course. The next two years will bring just as many changes, I think–another move, work, international travel, writing music and books. Life never ceases to amaze. 🙂

We had just gotten engaged, we had lived together for a year, we had spent lots of time with each other’s families and our parents had met. We were in our third year of med school (the hardest) and between that and living together, we had been through a lot and felt really strong in our relationship. We’ll get married five days after our three-year anniversary.
